Kohima Museum’s Chindit Exhibition has been a resounding success, attracting large numbers of visitors.
A great many of the visitors have been relatives of Chindits, who had never previously visited the Museum.
The Exhibition opened on June 28 & visitor numbers for July & August were more than double the count for the same months in 2025, despite the publicity of VJ80 last year. We are delighted with this enthusiastic response.
Most of the exhibits are on loan from the Chindit Society or from descendents of Chindits, with the loan originally planned to end on August 29, when the Exhibition would close. However, it has been so popular that the loans have been extended at least until the end of 2026 & new exhibits have been received.
An exciting variety of items have been donated to the Museum & others have been loaned indefinitely. As a consequence, the Kohima Museum will henceforth have a permanent Chindit display.
We are very proud to represent this important part of the Burma Campaign & to help preserve the memory of these heroes.
